Thompson visits TV
Thursday, March 24, 2011 – Josh Thompson is making a slight detour on the Jagermeister Country Tour for a couple of national TV appearances next week. Thompson will visit Fox & Friends on Monday, March 28 to perform his current single and break-up anthem Won't Be Lonely Long. He'll also swing by Better TV for a performance and interview, set to air on Monday, April 4.
"Being on the Jager tour, we don't really have a lot of early morning wake-up calls...so, I'll need to prepare myself for that," joked Thompson. "We're having a blast on the road. I've been touring so much over the past couple of years, it's definitely become my second home, but there is no place else I'd rather be right now. The fans are awesome and the Jager isn't so bad either."
Thompson kicked off the 2011 Jagermeister Country Tour with Dierks Bentley on March 17. When he's not on the road, Thompson is in the studio working on the follow up to his debut album "Way Out Here." He has also enjoyed recent cuts by Brad Paisley (A Man Don't Have To Die) and Jason Aldean (Church Pew Or Bar Stool).

Back in 2010, Josh Thompson was introduced to country music audiences with his debut, "Way Out Here," which blended rock music with traditional country elements to create a sound as comfortable in a honky tonk as on the radio waves. Guys like Jamey Johnson and Eric Church were taking a similar sound to the charts. But as is common in the fickle world of country record labels, Thompson's follow-up became a label casualty, something talked about, but never heard. ...
Josh Thompson's sophomore release, "Turn It Up" is his first on Toby Keith's Show Dog label. It seems to be a good match because both artists are cut from the same cloth. Thompson is also known as a champion of the everyman. Turns out they both have the same tendency to go over the top. Thompson excessively showcases the blue collar lifestyle the way Keith champions patriotism.
In fact, eight of the 10 tracks involve drinking, some with unsubtle titles like "Drink, ...
On his debut, Josh Thompson shows he is capable of writing songs in his own voice even while sometimes bowing to the wishes of Nashville radio programmers. On his hit, Beer on the Table, Thompson sings of being a hard working everyman who breaks his back all week for the chance to blow off steam with some brews on the weekend.
